Lord Have Mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
I know you never you wanted to see your your son walking in the cold
Hanging out in the slums,
I have hundreds of thousands of dollars why am I hanging with bums, it's hard to make
decisions the struggle is where I'm from
So much hurt, so much pain,
Sad and evil thoughts won't leave my brain.
I treat everyone with love, but they rather treat me like I'm in enslavement,
My life ain't been right since I saw my foster brother lying dead on the pavement
Lord please steer my ship, cause the path in headed my spirit can no longer take the labor
Your prophet told me whatever I ask of you, you shall grant cause I have the spirit of
Christ and for me I'll always have favor,
Thanks for the financial blessings lately but those gifts I can not savor
cause I'm running to my past and running away from future, running away from dreams
running away from the girl you chose for me as my queen
I stayed strong, and moved on, but I wish I could go back to the day I lost it
When she hit me in the face and told never to hit again
Lord you know I was abused as a child, so me getting defensive when hit, wasn't right
cause by talking it could of made our problems solvable
But the way I said things made my actions deplorable
I pray to Jesus that he can give us an audible
Even though she hurt me deep, even though I don't want her, when I lay down to sleep you
keep putting her in my visions
It's making it hard for me to move forward and make some new decisions
Lord why have you stuck this girl to heart like a leech
It even brought a tear to my eye when I had another girl take her place for reservations I
made for us at Myrtle Beach
Even though I had a great time there the feeling was bittersweet
I'll try my hardest to do your will, even though a girl I will not beseech
I ask that you make it easier caused everything I attained I had to toil
Even if things don't go my way I will forever stay loyal
And Lord Bless me to still have love for those that does things purposely to hurt me
Even though I'm disobedient at times, I pray for my soul that you The Lord Have Mercy.
